Thank you old friend. I'm just a boring academic, whose writing skills pale in comparison to your creativity and wit. I'm going to try to get a couple of posts out a week, if I can manage one I'll be satisfied. If I knew growing old was going to suck this bad I'd have taken much better care of myself. Truth be told, I never thought I'd see 40 much less 75. Thanks so much for your friendship, it means the world to me.
